Performance and Manuevering Flashcards
Takeoff distance can be reduced by ____
Increased wing camber
Maximum range is defined as ____
Maximum distance an aircraft can fly on a given amount of fuel
Critical Mach number is defined as the ____
Mach number that produces the first evidence of local supersonic flow
Flying ____ will give you the most distance for the airplane’s altitude if the engine fails.
Best glide speed
A headwind will ____ maximum glide range
Decrease
Landing roll is decreased by ____
A headwind
P-factor is caused by ____
One propeller blade creating more thrust than its opposing blade
If the propeller rotates clockwise, ____
Torque is opposite or counterclockwise
Turn rate and radius are based on what factors?
Velocity, bank angle
In a skid, the balance ball of the turn and bank indicator is ____
Deflected in the opposite direction of the turn
Thrust must increase in a turn due to the increase in ____
Drag
Load factor is a ratio of the ____ divided by the _____
Load, weight
Limit load factor is defined as _____
The greatest load factor an aircraft can sustain without risk of permanent deformation or damage
Asymmetric G limits are lower than symmetric because _____
The lift on the up-going wing is experiencing more G than what is read on the accelerometer
The G force required to maintain a 60° bank level turn is _____
+2.0
Positive static stability is _____
The initial tendency of an object to return to its original equilibrium
Neutral dynamic stability is _____
Where oscillations never dampen but remain at a constant amplitude
After a disturbance that rolls the airplane, “…it generates forces that reduce the bank angle and returns it to wings-level”, is the definition of ______.
Lateral stability
Cross-coupling causes _____
Spiral and directional divergence
A PIO in the pitch axis is the result of _____
The pilot and the inherent longitudinal stability of the airplane simultaneously trying to correct for the same oscillations
Max endurance is defined as what?
The maximum time that an airplane can remain airborne on a given amount of fuel
Max glide range (flown at Best Glide Speed) is ______.
Obtained by flying at L/DMAX airspeed
Gaining the most altitude in a given amount of time is _____
Max Rate of Climb
Slipstream swirl is most noticeable when _____
At high power settings and low airspeed
Ultimate load factor for the T-6A is defined as _____
The maximum load factor the airplane can withstand without structural failure
Turn radius is ______
A factor of velocity and bank angle
Sideslip angle is _____
The difference between the flight path and the longitudinal axis
When flying at maximum endurance airspeed in the T-6A, increasing AOA to maintain level flight will result in ______.
Slower airspeed requiring more power
